Raggle Taggle Gipsy
[Am] There were three old gypsies came to our house door. They came brave and [Em] boldly-o
And the [G] one sang [Am] high and the other sang low. And the [G] other sang [Em] raggle taggle [Am] gypsy-o
[Am] It was upstairs, downstairs the lady went.
Put on her suit of [Em] leather-o
And there [G] was a [Am] cry from around the door. She's [G] away with the [Em] raggle taggle [Am] gypsy-o
Instrumental verse
[Am] It was late that night when the lord came in. Inquiring for his [Em]lady-o
And the [G] servant [Am] girl she says to the lord.
She's [G] away with the [Em] raggle taggle [Am] gypsy-o
[Am] Well, he rode east, and he rode west,
He rode north and [Em] south also
Un[G] til he [Am] came to a wide-open field.
It was [G] there that he [Em] spied his [Am]lady-o
[Am] "Tell me, how could you leave your goosefeather bed Your blankets strewn so [Em]comely-o
[G] How could you [Am] leave your newly-wedded lord, [G] All for a [Em]raggle taggle [Am] gypsy-o?"
[Am] "Well, what care I for my goose-feather bed For my blankets strewn so [Em] comely-o?
[G] Tonight I [Am] lie in a wide-open field.
In the [G] arms of a [Em] raggle taggle [Am] gypsy-o"
[Am] "Tell me, how could you leave your house and your land, How could you leave your [Em] money-o
[G] How could you [Am] leave your only wedded lord,
[G] All for a [Em] raggle taggle [Am] gypsy-o?"
[Am] "Well, what care I for my house and my land,
And what care I for [Em] money-o?
I'd [G] rather have a [Am] kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips, I'm [G] away with the [Em] raggle taggle [Am] gypsy-o!"
